On the whole, I would prefer that things not suck. I make an exception for vacuum cleaners, however. Why anyone would add a hard-to-see and obscurely-labeled control to a vacuum cleaner that makes it suck less is something I'd rather not know, and whose designer had better hope they don't meet me on a moonless night.
Flame Darling (Ovation CC-48). Brand-new Martin Silk and Steel strings. Let me know if you can hear the buzzing strings on loud notes. Tiny editing glitch in Paper Wings, numerous flubs, and a bit of background noise (including Colleen answering a phone call in the middle of QV), but... The point is to listen to the guitar on this one.

The Zoom's USB storage mode seems to have abruptly stopped working; I've
tried several different ways of rebooting or resetting it. The card works
fine in a reader, and passed an fsck. *shrug* at least it
works in the reader, and that seems a little faster, too.
Going to go re-string Plink now.
...it was inevitable that we would get together.
( meet Flame Darling )Purchased early this afternoon at The Starving Musician; Flame is an Ovation CC48, a little bit quieter and sweeter than her sister Ruby. Yeah, I know, the decorations are really leaves.
Thanks to Colleen for giving me permission, and to the Younger Daughter
for giving me an excuse -- she found our borrowed Applause, which has a
deeper body, to be quite awkward to play. In the end I ended up spending
about the same on Flame as I had on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
chaoswolf's guitar Cindy,
so things have a way of working out.
I'm something of a pushover when it comes to guitars; I looked longingly at a gorgeous, sweet-sounding Martin 12-string at Gryphon yesterday, and an Ovation bass at Guitar Showcase this morning. But none of them whispered their names to me.
